I've never observed this behavior before in my entire life, but if I saw five guys rubbing noses together while drinking from separate straws from the same can of coke, my first inclination would be to guess that they were gay, not necessarily being cheap. I'm entirely happy with Indian tourists in Thailand, I've gone hiking with several Indian families, they come with me as a family because it's free, they bring sandwiches and stay in AirBNB rooms because they can cook all their own food. They work from the room using the free wifi. It's a new type of digital nomad, but one that hardly spends any money at all, I have respect for them and admire them for being more frugal than me. They speak good English and are friendly, happy and easy to get along with. I wish the Thais were more like them.

That is only enforced sometimes, for specific chosen things. I just did a forum search for the forum rules. Result zero. I think it was rule 11 though about no bash on Thais and their culture, institutions and any other group regardless of sexual perversion and/ or ethnicity. Or something like that, I'm not 100% sure. As I said I can't find the rules. Anywhere. I'm sure a mod will put a link shortly so we can all be reminded of the rules we signed up to and any updates since then.

grobec Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 In India 4+ star accommodations and restaurants are at least double the price of the equivalent in Thailand. They are usually quite full of locals with good sized families.When an Indian has money they have lots of it and the quickly growing middle class is exploding and already larger than the entire population of North America.If they do get the upper level tourists then they will score for a while. Downside is that group will likely spend only one holiday In Los, other than weekend shopping trips like they already do.Medical treatment in India is much cheaper and arguably better, so little chance there.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what China says about Indians World China Claims It Knows What Caused the Fire Outbreak on India's Aircraft Carrier Michael Peck Politics, Asia Really? China Claims It Knows What Caused the Fire Outbreak on India's Aircraft Carrier The fire broke out in the engine room of the carrier Vikramaditya as it entered the Indian naval base at Karwar on April 26. India’s only aircraft carrier suffered a fire that left one sailor dead. And China, which is India’s rival, says this is because Indians aren’t competent enough to operate advanced military equipment. (This appeared first earlier May 2019.) The fire broke out in the engine room of the carrier Vikramaditya as it entered the Indian naval base at Karwar on April 26. The blaze was extinguished, but not before an Indian Navy lieutenant commander, who led the firefighting effort, was overcome by fumes and later died in hospital, according to Indian media. He had gotten married just a month earlier. The Indian Navy reported that the fire had not seriously damaged the combat capabilities of the vessel, which is India’s only operational carrier. The 45,000-ton Vikramaditya – the ex-Soviet carrier Admiral Gorshkov -- had just completed a deployment in the Arabian Sea, and was preparing to begin joint exercises with the French Navy’s only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle, off the Indian coast.

I'm pretty sure that Hindustan (pop +1.3 billion) is perfectly capable of providing as many, possibly more, sex tourists than Europe. Although prostitution is well entrenched, socially acceptable (sounds familiar?) and legal in India, so they will be coming for a bit of variety/"upmarketing" rather than a cheaper price or because their culture frowns upon it, which is the case with yer average, round eyed, whitey.

Pattaya's reputation is well-known world wide. If a tourist was uncomfortable with sex-tourism, do they really have anyone but themselves to blame? That's like someone going to Las Vegas or Macau and complaining that gambling makes them uncomfortable. I don't think Pattaya is going to thrive with an 'all-things-to-all-people' tourism model. It can't thrive as a family resort and sex-tourism hub at the same time. Frankly, the sex-tourists probably aren't any happier being stared at like zoo animals by tourists not there for the bar scene, than the other tourists are thrilled about being around the sex tourism scene. That is a big part of the reason why Pattaya's tourism numbers are down: nobody's happy. Edited July 13, 2019 by Gecko123 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facts not bar stool OR TVF rumours. Quotes from officials as indicated by the press and expat Vloggers. It's an ongoing theme. Several months ago one official was quoted as saying (an I paraphrase due to time passed) 'we should work toward a goal of fewer Western tourist and we should look to replace them with Chinese.' Since that time, although not official policy, the same theme has been repeated more than just a few times by several officials. Even though it is not official policy, there a many people within Immigration who clearly believe it is defacto policy. Any honest person who reads Thai Visa Forum on a regular bases will acknowledge a pattern that shows this is not just empty talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I like old people, farangs, and young woman from Issan. I talk about sex worker and the customer in public. Different. Normal people don’t like to share there holiday with this “ couple”. It obvious everyone they not real couple. Everybody know, not stupid. Sex worker and customer. It look ugly. At the hotel I work before (4 star) we try to not allow. The boss hate it. Because other guests, family, kids, couple etc don’t like to look. They won’t come back. Most people don’t like it. Sorry, that true. i understand some guy like to pay for sex. No problem. Up to you But why they have to walk around in the street together, restaurant. MOST people think same with me, my boss, my friends, my hotel. Is ugly to see. Pitiful. Go curtain hotel better. Why make the show? Many people in this thred say bad thing about Indian, say not welcome in Thailand. is not true, if they family, couple no problem. Everyone welcome to Thailand if polite. If they sex tourist we don’t want this people. i know many on thaivisa are the sex tourist. But I just say what is true. Maybe some guy have the frial ego? But, sorry, is true. 1 hour ago, Bugsy777 said: My friend, if you can tear your eyes away from the people that you love to hate, you may actually see that it's mainly Thai men going with the underage girls.

But the sex tourist make the other tourist feel uncomfortable. Most the sex tourist is European. Everyone country welcome if polite. Only one who like the sex tourist is sex worker and there boss. Easy for European to get holiday visa. Chinese come in big groups... yes and make pollution Behave badly stealing from hotel's Put no money in to easan as farangs does. rape every food buffet Russian come with family... Yes but not buy anything mostly Russians come for working illegally We farangs don't like see fat farangs with young sex Thai ladies too but aleast she get money to support he family India people always buy one beer and share it with 5 people and always try get one lady for have with 5 men for one price Are you sure you know what you talking about?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sex worker made a lot of money, sometimes get foreign guy to fall in love with her, send her money every month, build house, give crazy sin sod, buy land, buy land for family, give money to family, spend a lot of money in Thailand. Many Thai people make a lot of money from sex tourism trade, not just sex worker. When Thai people are making a lot of money from sex tourism NOBODY say anything. Everything just fine. Hard to find anybody - even a monk - to say anything. Now maybe sex industry not make so much profit, so everybody saying sex industry not good for Thailand.
